Under the situation that mobile radiotelephone (hereinafter being called " phone ") user moves in comprising the location registers zone scope of predetermined a plurality of service areas, location registers is carried out in this phone request base station, sends the required time cycle of signal so that reduce from the base station to phone.When the position register request that receives from this phone, control station executing location registration of this base station requests.This control station response is stored in the positional information storage sites current location of this phone from the request of this base station.
In this location registers,, can cause phone between a plurality of service areas, frequently to move as telephone subscriber by bus or during the similar tool high-speed mobile.The result is, the frequency of phone location registration increases, and the problem of the control operation burden of the control station relevant with location registers occurred increasing the weight of.
In order to address the above problem, for example, on May 25th, 1993, disclosed Japanese Patent Laid was open, had disclosed a kind of known location registration system among the flat 5-130019.
This location registration system is like this design, makes phone detect the signal quality of received signals, and when this degraded signal quality, judges that then this telephone subscriber is with high-speed mobile.Judge this phone under the situation with high-speed mobile at it, for example, even this telephone subscriber moves in a location registers zone scope, this system forbids from the position register request of phone to a base station.
By the way, in the mobile radio telephone system that Japan uses, the Sending dialled number number that is used for called telephone between short distance calling and the long distance call is distinguishing.This is because control station charges equably to the calling party (hereinafter referred to as " calling party ") of called telephone.For example, when the short distance that is equal to or less than 160km was called out, calling party dialled 030, and when the long distance call of carrying out greater than 160km, calling party dials 040.
Control station calculates distance between calling party and the called phone according to called phone position registration zone, and judges that the calling from this calling party is that long distance call or short distance are called out.Do not consider should dial under the situation of " 030 " calling out by the fact of long distance call from the calling of calling party in calling party, this control station is with the message informing calling party of " please redial " 040 " ".Otherwise, not consider should dial under the situation of " 040 " calling out by the fact that short distance is called out in calling party from the calling of calling party, this control station is with the message informing calling party of " please redial " 030 " ".
Therefore, when the calling party called telephone, the user do not consider to make an appointment calling party he be in and can dial this fact of position that call out " 030 " that short distance calls out, do not dial under 040 situation about can not call out the message of this control station notice " please redial " 040 " " and move to.Cause this notifications calling party like this, the telephone subscriber has been interrupted the defective of the agreement of itself and calling party.
For solving this defective, can turn off telephone power.Yet, in this case, because the message informing calling party that this control station will " telephone power be switched off ", therefore exist calling party and infer that this telephone subscriber interrupted the possibility that itself and calling party are arranged.
Hereinafter will be with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferably the portable phone (hereinafter being referred to as " phone ") according to " digital system mobile telephone system standard: RCR STD-27B " is described in more detail mobile radiotelephone according to the present invention.

For example as shown in Figure 3, keyboard portion 104 comprises 0 to 90 key and an operating key (CONT key) 1041, and keyboard portion 104 is by user's operation of phone 1.Forbidding in the position register request that with respect to positional information storage sites 5 user operates these ten keys and imports a precalculated position registration and forbid number.Forbidding from position register request being transformed into the process of permission, the user operates these ten keys and imports a precalculated position registration and allows number.Operating key 1041 can be used as the dedicated button of forbidding and allowing of input position registration request.
When number is forbidden in the registration of keyboard portion 104 input positions, location registers disable code of first memory 107 storages.Stored at first memory 107 under the situation of this location registers disable code, allowed number if put registration at keyboard portion 104 DIPs, first memory 107 is wiped the location registers disable code of being stored.The region code in the registration location zone at second memory 108 these present places of phone of storage.
When first memory 107 these location registers disable code of storage, display 105 character display " location registers is forbidden ".Display 105 can show predetermined labels substitute characte " location registers is forbidden ".
Control on/off power supply 106 by the user, when power supply 106 was switched on, power supply 106 was to radio-circuit 102, controller 103, display 105, first memory 107 and second memory 108 power supplies.Power supply 106 is according to intermittently receiving operation to radio-circuit 102 power supplies.
Controller 103 comprises, two CPU for example, i.e. μ PD93138GJ that is made by NEC and the μ PD78P054GK that is made by NEC.Controller 103 is according to the receive frequency of the electric field strength setting wireless part 102 of carrier wave in the control channel that has received.The region code that is registered the band of position that controller 103 allows wherein to comprise the base station that sends the down control channel carrier wave of setting is stored in the second memory 108.Controller 103 makes radio-circuit 102 carry out receiving intermittence operation.When the electric field strength of the reception carrier of control channel became in predetermined level or lower and the first memory 107 memory location registration disable code, controller 103 was with respect to the registration request of positional information storage area 5 control positions.
Among Fig. 4, base station 21 to 26 comprises antenna 201 to 203, free wireless public amplifier 204, wireless transmitter/receiver 205 and a multiplexing transmitter 206 respectively.
Next the operation of base station 21 to 26 will be described.
The antenna 201 to 203 of base station 21 to 26 is with the wireless signal of diversity reception mode reception from phone 1.Free wireless public amplifier 204 will output to wireless transmitter/receiver 205 then from the received signal amplification of antenna 201,202 and 203.This wireless transmitter/receiver 205 will be demodulated to the restituted signal that is output to multiplexing transmitter 206 from the signal of free wireless public amplifier 204.Multiplexing and separate from be re-used transmitter 206 of the restituted signal of wireless transmitter/receiver 205, output to control station 31 to 34 then.
On the other hand, multiplexing when sending signal from the signal of control station 31 to 34 transmitter 206 that is re-used, output to wireless transmitter/receiver 205 then.205 pairs of signals from multiplexing transmitter 206 of wireless transmitter/receiver are modulated, and modulation signal outputs to free wireless public amplifier 204.Modulation signal from wireless transmitter/receiver 205 is zoomed into the transmission signal by free wireless public amplifier 204, and this transmission signal is output to phone 1 by antenna 201,202 or 203.
Next with reference to figure 5 (a), 5 (b), 6 (a) and 6 (b) down control channel is described.
Among Fig. 5 (a), a superframe is made up of 0 to 17 frame, and its length is 720ms.
Among Fig. 5 (b), in the structure of time slot of half rate, every frame is made up of time slot ST#0 to 5.Time slot ST#0 to 2 or time slot ST#3 to 5 comprise a subframe, and the length of each subframe is 20ms.
Among Fig. 6 (a) and 6 (b),, be assigned with one of any among BCCH, a single mesh signaling channel of special use (SCCH) and the PCH respectively for ST#0 that comprises a sub-frame preamble time slot or ST#3.
BCCH comprises PCH information, and one judges whether carry out the predetermined level of location registers and the region code in a location registers zone, comprises the base station that sends present received control channel signals in this location registers zone.SCCH also is assigned to the uplink and downlink control channel, and is used when a calling is connected to the base station.When receiving a calling, comprise the telephone number of a phone among the PCH.
Then, under control, be pulled to the phone operation that radio-circuit 102 begins the discontinuous operation processes with reference to figure 7 (a), 7 (b) and 8 descriptions from power supply.
Among Fig. 8, when power supply is switched under control (step S1), controller 103 makes radio-circuit 102 these operations of response connect (step S2).After the connection, radio-circuit 102 begins to scan a plurality of predetermined receive frequencies, so that set the carrier frequency (step S3) that is received in down control channel.Radio-circuit 102 finish scanning all a plurality of predetermined receive frequencies after (step S4), controller 103 is according to the electric field strength of the channel signal of each receive frequency that can pass through this scan operation acquisition, the receive frequency of radio-circuit 102 is set at the frequency of the control channel signals that is detected highfield intensity, (step S5).
Radio-circuit 102 beginnings receive the down control channel carrier wave at a receive frequency that sets, and receive the BCCH (step S6) that is comprised in the predetermined time slot.
In this situation, in Fig. 7 (a) and 7 (b), after the receive frequency of having set radio-circuit 102, radio-circuit 102 is at moment t1 receiving slot ST#5.Radio-circuit 102 continues to connect, and receives a predetermined time slot that is assigned with BCCH up to it, and at power supply after time slot ST#0 connects, at first receive BCCH at moment t2.
Come back to Fig. 8, when radio-circuit 102 has received BCCH (step S6), controller 103 comprises the base station that sends the control channel signals with present received frequency from the region code of the restituted signal detection position registration zone of BCCH in this location registers zone.Then, controller 103 makes second memory 108 that region code is stored in wherein, and determines the PCH (step S7) of this phone from restituted signal.Determine after the PCH of phone that radio-circuit 102 begins to carry out discontinuous operation, so that only receive (step S8) at the time slot that is assigned with BCCH or PCH in advance.
Below with reference to Fig. 7 (a) and 7 (b) this operation is described.
Radio-circuit 102 is determined the PCH of this phone when moment t2 receives BCCH.Then, radio-circuit 102 is turned off, up to the time slot ST#0 that has been assigned with phone PCH in its reception of moment t3.When moment t3 received PCH, radio-circuit 102 was turned off once more and keeps turn-offing at moment t4, up to the time slot ST#0 that is assigned with BCCH in its reception of moment t5.When moment t5 received BCCH, radio-circuit 102 was turn-offed once more at moment t6.After this, repeat identical intermittence and receive operation.
Next will location registering method be described with reference to figure 9.
Among Fig. 9, intermittently receiving operating period, when radio-circuit 102 receives BCCH (step S9), controller 103 detects the electric field strength of the control channel signals that receives and reads predetermined level from the restituted signal of BCCH, so that it judges whether the electric field strength that detects is not higher than this predetermined level (step S10).This is higher than in electric field strength under the situation of predetermined level in judging, radio-circuit 102 carries out receiving operation the intermittence identical with the operation of front and turning back to step S9, so that receive the BCCH that sends here subsequently.
On the other hand, be not higher than in electric field strength under the situation of predetermined level, controller 103 judges whether the location registers disable code has been stored in (step S11) in the first memory 107.Under the location registers disable code had been stored in situation in the first memory 107, controller 103 was not controlled the position register request from this phone to this base station.
On the other hand, under the location registers disable code was not stored in situation in the first memory 107 yet, radio-circuit 102 began to scan a plurality of predetermined receive frequencies (step S12).Radio-circuit 102 has scanned (step S13) after all these a plurality of predetermined receive frequencies, controller 103 is according to the electric field strength of the control channel of each receive frequency that can obtain by this scan operation, the receive frequency of radio-circuit 102 is set at the frequency (step S14) of the control channel signals that is detected highfield intensity.
Radio-circuit 102 beginnings receive the down control channel carrier wave at the receive frequency that sets, and receive the BCCH (step S15) that is comprised in the predetermined time slot.Controller 103 comprises the base station that sends the control channel carrier wave with present received frequency from the region code of the BCCH restituted signal detection position registration zone of reception in this location registers zone.Then, radio-circuit 102 is stored in the region code in the location registers zone detected in the second memory 108 and up to the region code in the location registers zone of the base station of the control channel carrier wave of present received frequency relatively (step S16) with wherein comprising to send to have.As this comparative result, when the former was identical with the latter, controller 103 was not controlled the position register request from this phone to this base station.
On the other hand, when the former and the latter not simultaneously, controller 103 writes the region code of storage in the second memory 108 again at present detected region code (step S17) and sends position register request (step S18) to the base station.When this request of controller 103 response, when receiving by radio-circuit 102 from affirmation request that this base station sends (step S19), this controller 103 sends confirms response (step S20).This request of controller 103 responses receives the location registers that sends from this base station by radio-circuit 102 and receives (step S21), thereby finishes the position register request control from the phone to the base station.
As mentioned above, the present invention can forbid position register request from phone by the user.Therefore, exist the telephone subscriber not consider this user calling party of making an appointment, he is positioned at the fact that can call out by the short distance calling and moves under the situation of the regional possibility of long distance call, be the agreement that prevents to notify this user to interrupt itself and calling party, disabled position registration request before the user moves to long distance call zone to calling party.
In these cases, when the user moved to long distance call zone, because this phone does not carry out location registers, control station can not be grasped this phone position, and can not make the current location of storage mobile radio station in the positional information storage sites 5.So, in this case, when the calling party called telephone, the message of control station notice " called phone shifts out the coverage at present ".
When call failure occurring, produce this class notice in the routine call.Be that this notice often produces.Therefore, calling party can not judge that above-mentioned notice is that the fact by phone disabled position registration or call failure causes, and this calling party can not judge that the telephone subscriber interrupted the agreement of itself and calling party.
Among this embodiment, controller 103 judges whether the electric field strength of the control channel carrier wave with receive frequency is not higher than (the step S10 among Fig. 9) after the predetermined level, controller 103 judges whether the location registers disable code has been stored in (the step S11 among Fig. 9) in the first memory 107, thereby judges and to forbid or allow location registers.Yet the judgement that location registers is forbidden is not limited to the step after conduct meets step S10, if this judgement was carried out before controller 103 sends position register request, can carry out any step (the step S18 among Fig. 9).
Next given another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In this embodiment, even first memory 107 comprises the memory of also memory contents not being wiped when a power supply 106 is turned off.If when power supply was switched under control, the location registers disable code had been stored in the first memory 107, controller 103 is not to controlling to the position register request of base station from phone.
By said structure, even moving to, the telephone subscriber do not dial the position that " 040 " can not call out, in control power down source, ShiShimonoseki 106, energized 106 under control then, because position register request is under an embargo, control station can not be grasped the position of this phone.
Among this embodiment, RCR STD-27B is as a case description of phone standard, yet the present invention is not limited to this class standard.
In addition, the foregoing description is described by portable phone, yet the present invention can be applicable to automobile telephone or similar device equally.
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, consequently request is from the location registers of phone because keyboard portion 104 is made into this structure, and the telephone subscriber can select to forbid or allow location registers.
Therefore, exist the telephone subscriber do not consider this user make an appointment calling party he be in the fact in the short distance calling area and move under the situation of possibility in long distance call zone, the telephone subscriber can the disabled position registration.
Clearly, can make many other improvement and variation to the present invention by above-mentioned instruction.Therefore, should be appreciated that in the appended claims scope, can do specifically describing the outer the present invention of enforcement here.
